Smart Night Light & Alarm Clock

NIGHT LIGHT. Using a decision matrix based on the state of 4 variables (time of night, amount of movement detected, amount of light detected & calm time elapsed), the various system resources are activated: On-Board LEDs & clock TFT display color, playback of white noise intervals, playback of recorded messages, setting of the room’s lighting color & intensity or turn it off (Philips WiZ light bulbs).

WAKE UP ALARM. The wake up sequence begins 30 minutes prior to the defined alarm time with a gradual power up of the Philips WiZ light bulbs, from low intensity warm colors to full brightness white light (a daybreak simulation). The on-board LEDs begin 10 minutes prior with a blue color sequence, from lowest to highest brightness. During the last 10 minutes, selected short tunes are played (i.e. Super Mario, etc.). Finally, at alarm time, a recorded message is played (i.e. “It’s time to wake up!”).

SYSTEM PARAMETERS. Some variables, including of course the Alarm Time, but also the LED brightness for night light service, the time slot to be considered as sleeping time, the amount of light to be considered dark, the number of movements detected within a time period, and other variables, can be set via Web or Phone using Blynk. To save battery, shaking (or just grabbing) the Opla will turn the WiFi radio off. When connecting to IFTTT (to control the WiZ lights), WiFi is turned on/off as required
